چکیده
Controlled Flight into Terrain is one of the major sources of accidents in aviation today. Studies have shown that the use of Terrain Awareness and Warning Systems (TAWS) can decrease the number of such accidents. A problem with current TAWS is that the majority of them use the same display window as other information such as weather, traffic, airport positions, and moving map programs. The amount of clutter the terrain information alone adds to the displays makes the perception of other information difficult. This report discusses the design, development, and testing of a de-cluttered TAWS display where the traditional color-coded contour terrain is replaced with a single red contour indicating the projected points of impact of the aircraft; this red contour takes into account both the aircraft's current altitude and flight path angle. Although the red-contour terrain depiction covers less display area, it should still provide the same level of terrain awareness as the multi-colored design. A comparative testing of the red-contour and multi-colored TAWS was conducted using the basic flight displays in Microsoft Flightsim, along with other simulation software and equipment. Results show no significant difference in the performance of the 2 displays. However, since an un-realistic simulation element regarding changes in vertical speed of the aircraft greatly affected the performance of the red-contour, further studies with more sophisticated simulators may produce statistically significant results.
